Re: WinXP upgrade breaks cron mapping


Yes, my cron jobs are scheduled under my dtj011 cygwin id which is the same
as my NT id.  So the su should not be necessary.

as far as i know the SYSTEM-Account cannot acces any network drives.

you should perhaps su to your userid - altough this should already be 
done by cron itself (if the cronjobs are not scheduled to run as root).
